Hey there!

Just wanted to see if any ppl on here who had their surgery done by Dr. Macik at Northside Hospital. How are you doing with the strict diet? Any tips on how to cope? I'm 4 weeks out and dying to have puree refried beans and tuna. [emoji21] [emoji26]

Hi I'm one of Dr. Macik's patients. I got released 9/29.My Surgery date was 9/27. Been in alot of discomfort from the surgery an trying to force the fluids in but it's rough. The gas has finally subsided which is making me feel somewhat better. I have a very low low threshold for pain like 0..lol so for me it's been a struggle to get through this first week. Drinking the 32oz of skim milk has been a challenge because I am not a milk drinker at all. I keep experiencing these spasms in my stomach that is very painful so I am going to calling in to see if this is normal. The diet is pretty much easy for me especially since my intake is low because my appetite is gone but I look forward to the puree stage.

Yeah, I kinda blew past the milk stage. That part was hard cuz I couldn't hold any of it down. It will get better though. I have 6 days to puree. I can't wait! [emoji2]

I look forward to seeing any kind of food other than broth..lol. Now did you ever experience the spasms in your belly? If so what did you do?

Yes, I took gas X until I heard there was a recall. And, then after that, I just took the pain. it wasn’t that bad for me though. Walking help losing me up because you want to just let it “pass”
